Below is the fully rewritten, icon-free, copy-paste-ready EZY Course blog post on the new topic:<blockquote>“Why Doctors Have a Hard Time Trusting CPAs — And What to Do About It”</blockquote><hr><h1 id="ba506474-a3d0-436f-84c5-b80bdb476545" data-toc-id="ba506474-a3d0-436f-84c5-b80bdb476545" style="font-size: 32px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">Why Doctors Have a Hard Time Trusting CPAs</h1>And What to Do About ItIf you’re a doctor, chances are you’ve had a bad experience with a CPA.Maybe it was a call not returned during tax season. Maybe it was a huge unexpected tax bill. Maybe it was vague advice, boilerplate strategies, or confusing jargon.Whatever it was, it left a mark — and now you don’t just question their advice… You question whether they’re even working for you at all.And you’re not alone.Doctors across the country are quietly asking the same thing: “Why do I feel like I’m flying blind on my taxes… even though I have a CPA?”Here’s why that happens — and how to fix it.<hr><h2 id="81a3947f-1584-4392-8321-ee8a5ce2e845" data-toc-id="81a3947f-1584-4392-8321-ee8a5ce2e845" style="font-size: 24px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">1. CPAs Don’t Specialize in Doctors</h2>Most CPAs are generalists. They work with:<ul><li>Restaurants</li><li>Construction companies</li><li>Freelancers</li><li>Real estate agents</li><li>And yes, sometimes a few doctors</li></ul>But medicine is a different animal.Your income is high. Your schedule is packed. Your liability is elevated. And the tax code punishes you for being a W-2, salaried professional.If your CPA doesn’t understand physician compensation models, locums, 1099 vs W-2 strategy, or bonus depreciation — they’re playing checkers on a chess board.<hr><h3 id="bb58d522-c51d-44da-9c25-4f52a65351cb" data-toc-id="bb58d522-c51d-44da-9c25-4f52a65351cb" style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">2. CPAs Are Overloaded and Under-Involved</h3>Doctors expect professionalism and responsiveness. What they often get from their CPA is:<ul><li>Ghosted emails</li><li>Missed calls</li><li>Rushed conversations before April 15</li><li>A return delivered with no explanation and no time for questions</li></ul>This isn’t malice — it’s math. Your CPA probably has hundreds of clients and is buried from January to April.They’re not paid to be proactive. They’re paid to prepare and file. And that’s the problem.<hr><h4 id="4006b605-c67c-4d37-b68b-2cf1a57fe35c" data-toc-id="4006b605-c67c-4d37-b68b-2cf1a57fe35c" style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">3. They Speak a Language You Don’t Understand — On Purpose</h4>The average physician doesn’t know what:<ul><li>An S-Corp election does</li><li>What “material participation” means</li><li>What basis tracking is</li><li>How a QBI deduction works</li><li>Or how to implement cost segregation</li></ul>And most CPAs don’t bother explaining it.This creates a trust gap: You feel disempowered. They feel annoyed. You nod and sign. They move on.It’s no wonder you feel like you’re not on the same team.<hr><h5 id="b5e363e6-2a83-44c4-9609-274c08abd3fb" data-toc-id="b5e363e6-2a83-44c4-9609-274c08abd3fb" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">4. You Find Out What You Should Have Done — After It’s Too Late</h5>One of the most common complaints from doctors is:<blockquote>“Why didn’t anyone tell me about this earlier?”</blockquote>You hear about:<ul><li>Solo 401(k)s after the deadline</li><li>Missed deductions you could’ve claimed</li><li>Real estate tax strategies after closing</li><li>Business structures you should’ve set up years ago</li></ul>The truth is, your CPA may have known. But they didn’t have the time, incentive, or system to proactively guide you through it.<hr><h5 id="a99e3f6a-8390-49d7-8b24-5aa348864e67" data-toc-id="a99e3f6a-8390-49d7-8b24-5aa348864e67" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">5. They Don’t Coordinate With Your Other Professionals</h5>Your CPA doesn’t talk to your:<ul><li>Bookkeeper</li><li>Financial advisor</li><li>Estate attorney</li><li>Insurance agent</li><li>Practice consultant</li></ul>So you’re left managing the mess. And no one’s working from the same playbook.As a physician, this kind of siloed system creates financial fragmentation — and the anxiety that comes with it.<hr><h5 id="28546ff5-f3f1-49de-8c67-3b48d42d18f9" data-toc-id="28546ff5-f3f1-49de-8c67-3b48d42d18f9" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">6. So What’s the Fix?</h5>You don’t need a better tax preparer. You need a strategic system that:<ul><li>Plans ahead</li><li>Coordinates your entire team</li><li>Translates tax into plain English</li><li>Puts your goals — not just your compliance — first</li></ul>That system is called a Virtual Family Office.<hr><h5 id="52cdd286-1c98-4232-99ae-a00ebec0b9c4" data-toc-id="52cdd286-1c98-4232-99ae-a00ebec0b9c4" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">7.

It’s what high-performing practices and families have always needed — and finally have access to.<hr><h5 id="175c7041-8bb4-4d0c-aac8-42ebf0188a88" data-toc-id="175c7041-8bb4-4d0c-aac8-42ebf0188a88" style="font-size: 16px; font-weight: 600; line-height: 1.2;">8.
